Mail::Address is only doing half-work... it even doesn't understand
address groups.  [happily, that is hardly ever used by anyone].

The reason for Mail::Message->from  (and friends) to return Mail::Address
objects is that Mail::Message::Field::Address is rather new.  It will not
be easy to sneak the change to the new objects in without breaking the
interface...  Although it needs to be done... probably have to overrule
isa() to start with.
